In the past, I've skipped a dose and if I feel nauseous (it comes back immediately) I just keep taking it.

Thanks ladies, usually in the mornings i feel the best so i stopped taking that... I will see if the nausea is back in the arvo. Its good to know that it will come back straight away if i still am sick!

Zofran has a history of giving me anxiety really bad. So, I just stopped taking it IMMEDIATELY. Haven't had any side effects (well, other than puking) by stopping my doses.

I take my zofran at night with something to eat before bed and I wake up fine and good until the next night. However I took my last one Tuesday night so didn't have one to take last night and I feel horrible today. I'm also 13 weeks today. Hoping for some relief soon however calling my doctor to have it refilled today.

When I started I was taking 2 8mg tablets a day. One in the morning, one in the evening. Then I stopped taking the evening dose. Now, I only take 4mg in the morning. I'm hoping I can stop soon but I still get really nauseous in the mornings.

I only take it when I NEED it... Like at work and when I can't stop vomiting on my days off. On the weekends I just vegetate and barf when I need to... Nap when possible. You can probably get away with only taking it during the day...

I asked my midwife about this yesterday (on Zofran since 6wk and I'm currently 13wk), and she said to wean myself gradually, eg: go from two doses a day to 1.5, then down to one, over the course of a few days. She said if you go cold turkey it could "reset" the MS back to when it was really bad.

She also suggested not trying to wean yourself off until you've had a few days in a row with no nausea and vomiting.

Thanks! I was gonna ask my doc tomorrow but I guess she would tell me the same thing. I actually stopped taking them cold turkey two nights ago... and haven't thrown up since, a little uneasy (slightest hint of strange smell makes me a little nauseous)...

If I haven't thrown up in two days maybe it's means I'm alright without? If what emilystone said is correct (the nausea comes back immediately) then I should be good! ... I hope!

My new dr actually scared me and told to stop taking Zofran (previous dr prescribed) due to recent FDA warnings. The next day I tried not to take any and threw up from 7am-6pm when I took it because I just couldn't handle it anymore. I have to take it, otherwise I will end up in the hospital for dehydration. So she told me to take a half only when I begin throwing up (4mg) which has been working. I have been trying to take half of a half (2mg) and sometimes that's all I need. I would jut start cutting he pill into smaller pieces to wean off. Good luck!
